If you do not need 5G and you want to save a lot of money while getting a perfect phone, you still have a lot of choices even in 2021. An example is the 4G variant of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite which has nothing to envy to the 5G version if we exclude the 5G support. But is it the best mid-ranger you can get right now or there are other devices at the same level which you can consider? We decided to pick two devices that we define at the same level as the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite in order to answer to this question: the Motorola Moto G40 Fusion and the OPPO F19 Pro.

Design

If you desire the best design, you should opt for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite: one of the reasons why you should make this choice is the fact that it is incredibly thin and lightweight. It has a thickness of just 6.8 mm and a weight of 157 grams. Further, it is dust resistant and splash resistant with the IP53 certification. The OPPO F11 Pro is thin and lightweight too, but less than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. On the other hand, it has a more compact body due to the presence of a smaller display. The Motorola Moto G40 Fusion is a big phablet with a not outstanding design.

 

Display

The most advanced display is the one offered by the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite: it is an AMOLED panel that is able to show one billion colors with the HDR10 certification and the Full HD+ resolution. It sports a diagonal of 6.55 inches and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The second place goes to the OPPO F19 Pro: it has an AMOLED panel as well, but it lacks the HDR certification, it does not show one billion colors and it does not have a high refresh rate. The Motorola Moto G40 Fusion has a 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10, but it comes with an IPS panel with less impressive image quality.

 

Hardware/Software

If you want the most stunning hardware, go for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. It is powered by the Snapdragon 732G mobile platform paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. The Motorola Moto G40 Fusion has a Snapdragon 732G too, but unfortunately, it offers just 6 GB of RAM in its high-end configuration. With the OPPO F19 Pro, you get the Mediatek Helio P95 which is built with a worse 12 nm production process and is definitely inferior to the Snapdragon 732G, but you can get up to 256 GB of internal storage instead of just 128 GB.

 

Camera

All of these phones come with pretty nice cameras and they offer similar levels of photo quality. The OPPO F19 Pro has a 48 MP main camera with a brighter f/1.7 focal aperture for better shots in low light conditions. But with Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite and Motorola Moto G40 Fusion, you get a great 64 MP main sensor capturing a great level of detail, as well as 120 fps video recording with 4K resolution.

 

Battery

The best battery phone is the Motorola Moto G40 Fusion with its mammoth 6000 mAh battery. It has slower charging, but its battery life is much better than Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite and OPPO F19 Pro. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite takes the silver medal: despite having a smaller capacity than OPPO F19 Pro, it has a more efficient chipset.

 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G vs Motorola Moto G40 Fusion vs OPPO F19 Pro: Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is priced at about €299/$362, Motorola Moto G40 Fusion costs about €180/$218, and OPPO F19 Pro starts from €240/$290 (prices vary depending on the region). The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is the most advanced device here, but the huge battery of the Motorola Moto G40 Fusion and its wide display makes it very attractive for a lot of power users.
